Those Democrats who said they were anxious to vote for Dunham for President Judge, will have a chance to gratify their wishes, this | fall.

Grim of Laporte, was not favorably impressed with the likeness we inserted in our col umns last week of Mr. Jennings. He said it made him look like a bruiser, We admit it, was'nt a clear picture of our candidate for Member but when yon have tried as often as we have to secure good photos for publication, you will be content with most anything. It seems to lie im possible to yet a lirst class cut made. The subject don't seem to have any thing to do with it. We have a strong notion that a cut of Logan would be no exception to the rule. M. W. Botsford, merchant of Nordmont, sold his store to M. W. Stephens Si Co. of Willi .msport, one dty last. week. The new firm will take possession of thesameth" Ist of September.

A very pretty little gathering of about 00 young people were enter tained at Mr. Geo. W. Smith's, Eagles Mere, on Saturday evening Aug. 18th. Miss Lizzie Smith our young hostess, did her part in the entertaining of her guests. Music and dancing until 11:30, when Ice Cream anil Cake were served, after which all went home. The house was prettily dressed with evergreens, and lanterns lighted the perch for out door dancing. Our New York friends, Miss Vanßoskerck and Lilian E. Wdson, who are summer ing at Mr. Smith's enjoyed the even ing. * Two gokl watches were stolen from workingmen engaged on the courthouse Saturday afternoon. The men when they goto work,hang their coats and vests in the old wood shed ja.hich they also use as a tool room, never thinking of removing their valuables therein. When they quit work for the day, Saturday, James Arey a carpenter, and Mr. E. Staseh a slater, discovered that their watches hid been stolen. Warrents were issued, but as yet no clue to the stolen property has been found. A reward of S2O. is offered for the return of the goods and conviction of the guilty party or parties. A horse owned by Clias. Lauer of Laporte broke loose from a hitching post in front of E S. Chase's resi dence at the 'Mere on Saturday afternoon and ran in the direction of Laporte at a breakneck speed. At Sljanersbnrg field llie buggy upset and threw the horse where it was caught by C. F. Cheney and others, who went in pursuit. The wagon was wrecked more or less and the horse received several gashes about the Ipgs, not seiiotis however. Mrs. Dr. Murreile and Mrs. J. L. Smyth and son Victor had driven the horse to the 'Mere and were calling on Mrs. Chase at the time of the accident. Mr. Lauer went over after Mrs, I Murreile, Mrs, Smyth and Victor and the wreck on Sundiv. We have been officially informed that the Picnic, held at Laporte on Aug. 15th for the benefit of the Catholic church, was a great finan cial success. The net proceeds are about $1,670; and this amount will be applied towards the erection of the churches at Laporte and Bel li ice. The contests for the cane and watch were closed on Thursday last and netted 5i,075.75. The cane was won by Mr. Frank Gallagher of our city; the watch was secured by Mi ss Nellie (ii'ligan of Lopez. It must, indeed, be gratifying to Father Knright to meet with such eloquent indorsement of his efforts, and we hope that he may long le spared amongst us to perform the great work that has been assigned him. The church, which is now under course of construction, is being pushed on rapidly by the Lawrence Bros, and will be ready for the cere mony of dedication by Nov. Ist. It is a handsome structure and is ad : inirqbly located. It will be an orna ment. to our city. On ilio occasion of the Sunday exour | simi to Li-ko Mokotna I noticed that the j saloons of Sullivan county's capital wire! open and doing ii ruddng hush ess, regard- j less of the law which forbids the sale of j liquor on Sunday. I have looked care fully through the Sullivan county paper* to sec if they h tve any fault to find with wich proceeding*, but all appear to be blind to the fact that the law has becu .h is transgressed. It is a dark blot on the fair name of Laporte.—Towauda Review. The above is written by a coiivs pondert of the Towanda Review, who styles himself, "Tljat Man About Totyn." Ho far as our knowl edge reaches, his remarks are un true in every particular. He speaks ! of saloons. Wo have but one. Out- Hotels, however, did a large trade on the Sunday mentioned. The J.a porte Hotel, we understand, enter- j tained four hundred people for j dinner, and the other Hotels did p, corresponding httslnet«. It Is our I opinion that this Towanda corres pondent witnessed these people enter the several hotels and imagined that they were drinking. Imaginary ' news is dangerous, and we feci oon -1 fident that the only "dark blot on j the fair name of Laporte," received by this excursion, was the pen ot the ' Towanda Iltriew correspondent. The Dushore Park & Fair associa tion hold their third annual races on September 0, 7 and 8. The W. and Y. W. U. T. Unions of Laporte will hold a Parlor Meet ing and Peanut Social at. the home of Mis. ('. K. Uriiiiin Friday evening August :31st. An oll'eriug for the benefit of the Societies will he grate fully received at this time. A cor dial invitation extended to all. It is rumored at .Laporte that work on the new road down Loyal sock has come to a halt- This is really to bad; Our people had every reason to expect that this thorough fare would be in readiuess for travel at the date fixed for the Forksville Fair. We are told that there is no certainty of its being completed this year. This being the case legal pro ceedings should again be revised against the officials to blame for the delay. The history of tie making of this road, in a nut shell, is like this. A year ago the court ordered lhe road made. Laporte Borough, Laporte Twp., Shrews bury Twp. and Forksville Borough went to work at once and completed their part at a cost of several thous and dollars. The officials of Forks Twp., have squirmed and grunted and did everything possible to delay the matter and to-day there is yet to build at least two miles in that Township, hence the officials in the districts above mentioned, who went on and did their work at the above" mentioned cost bave laid out of their money and the use of the road for nearly a year. This is unfair un just and there is'nt a particle of right in it, and the parties delaying the matter should be made to explain the cause. Another Mur<ler in Wyoming County. George Kelley was murdered by Adelbert Ilarford at Golden Hill, Braintrim township, Wyoming c mnty, ou Thursday night Aug. 16th just before dark. There had been a cutting bee in the fallow of Frank J. Millheim, aud the parties named, with others, participated therein and went to Millheim's for supper about seven o'clock. At the supper table (leorge Kelly and Adelbert Ilarford had words over an old board bill owed by Har ford to Kelley, in which Harford took Kelley by the neck, only re leasing his hold when compelled to by Mr. Millheim. After supper the two men started for home, a half mile away, taking up their axes as tliey went out of the door yard. They were watched down the road about thirty rods to the forks of the road,three miles from Lacey villr, eight miles from Sug.ir Run, and seven miles from Mehoop any. Here they were seen to stop, Harford taking Kelley by the neck with his left hand, and swinging his axe with his right, struck Kelley on Hie head with the pole of the axe. Kelley dropped to the ground as Harford loosed his hold upon him. The victim was found to be bleeding from the mouth and nose and was helped to the house in a dazed con dition and went into a stupor, being unable to give any account of the arfair before death came at 1>:35 on Friday morning. Harford was ar rested and is confined in the Tunk hannock Jail, KILLED ItY T4IG I'UAIX. \1 11:>iii Karsliot ol Home Tin o. Ili'ss Meets it TrHu'ic Deulli. On Saturday evening Theodore Hess, who with his family, resides on a farm near Montgomery, met with an accident that resulted in his death. While returning in a wagon from Montgomery he sought to cross the Heading railroad tracks in front of an advancing locomotive. The engine which regularly runs on the Williamsport and North Branch railroad and which was running backward struck the wagon, smash iigit to bits, and Mr. Hess was hurled forty feet away, and was picked up unconscious and with his skull crushed. The horses escaped unhurt. The scene of the accident wus less than half a mile from lless' home and Mrs. Hess and her daugh ter, who wpt'Q awaiting his return heard tl(e crash. They hurried to wards the place and the injured niau was removed to H house close by, where he soon expired. Two Brakeinen with lighted lan • terns sat on the fipont part of the j engine when it struck the wagon. The engine was returning from : Montgomery after having hauled an • excursion to Lake Mokomi and ; back. No impicst was held. Mr. 1 Hess was 60 years of age and leaves a wife and three adult daughters, lie was one of the most prominent j Democrats in that section and as a I citizen was highly respected.
